I know. Creeps me out, too. This hairless obsessed kid doesn't even think Maggie is pretty because her arm hair is "kinda dark" or so he says. The whole conversation got started because someone offhandedly compared Lauren Cohan's physical attractiveness to Kate Winslet (saying she'd look good in one of those Victorian dresses that pushed up Winslet's cleavage so amply in Titanic) and the kid started going off on how fat Winslet was in Titanic, that her teeth weren't nice (no veneers and one slightly crooked) and that you could see a hint of pubes during the drawing scene in the DVD version. Now you know Cal Hockeley had money and there were more than enough waxing salons in Southhampton in 1912. What was that cow thinking? Nasty. He started going on that Lauren Cohan is equally as nasty looking as Winslet. I suspect he watches a great deal of porn.

Hell, I'm straight and even I think Cohan is hot. The kid was grossed out by the spontaneous sex between Glenn and Maggie episode before last. She didn't even have time to "prepare herself," ie take a shower, get a waxing, several breath mints....a professional teeth cleaning. Must be some Zombie dentists somewhere. I'm thinking you'd have to settle for getting toothbrushes and toothpaste out of pharmacies, kid.

I've thought Cohan was hot ever since I saw her on Supernatural. I really don't think there are any unattractive female cast members on the show.
As for the whole hairless look, I'm not a fan. It just looks too unnatural to me.

People have been screwing since loooong before the sanitariness of civilization, & assuming any are left, will still be doing so loooong after they all fall

Being straight female, I don't have the visual fascination with women's genitalia that many straight men have (I assume some gay women, too). When I asked Hubby, as a representative for straight men, what he thought of "hairless" (whether shaved or waxed) women, he said it looked too much like a prepubescent girl for him to be comfortable with the thought.

Do men see hairless women as prepubescent, in a way? Is there a whisper of attractiveness to children in this? I know it's popular in porn (and swimsuits), but sometimes those who decide what's "popular" are...twisted in some way. Maybe they wanted to feel "normal"?

I noticed that Maggie had pink underwear. I would think that underwear would be one of the first pieces of clothing that would be put aside.

I believe that this show can depict the verisimilitude of a zombie apocalypse fairly well when it depicts how people react psychologically in that environment, such as the episode where the Sheriff visits his home town. However, in other areas, I feel the show falls short, such as how the people deal with the mundane rituals of daily living, or how technology would break down and the effect of this breaking down would have on a regional level.

I don't see it as an age/pubescent (pre or post) thing at all. For me it boils down to 2 things:

1. I'm used to it now due to its prevalence in my generation, and so some level of grooming has become as expected as smooth legs and underarms.

2. As a man with an oral enthusiasm, it is generally a more pleasant experience on both ends if some of the brush is cleared away. Including on an olfactory level, since hair tends to hold on to odors more readily than skin alone.

Mind you my enthusiasm is rarely lessened by the presence or even abundance of hair, it is merely a preference.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with Woodbury. Is it destroyed and all the people in it scatter? Does it remain, with the Governor dead, and Andrea in charge? Or Milton? I don't see Rick's group moving in; that wouldn't make for very dramatic television.
